It's an invalid RSA key.  cryptlib performs validity checks when it loads a
key, in this case for u = q^-1 mod p, u must be less than p, however for this
key it isn't.  What application generated the key?

If you need to use the key you can comment out the check:

  /* Verify that u < p, where u was calculated as q^-1 mod p ...

around line 380 of context/kg_rsa.c.
